Dallas, TX (January 1, 2013) - Dallas-based Ian Donnelly Systems, Inc. (IDS) today announced that Ian Donnelly will be retiring after 25 years of running IDS.

IDS and Ian have sold the assets to IDSEnTech Corp, who has also assumed the liabilities associated with the Key-Up maintenance agreements.

The impact on existing customers should be negligible. The day-to-day operations have been passed on to a staff of veteran operators to ensure a seamless transition.

Our support teams and research and development staff will remain unchanged, so for those of you who have worked with IDS team members in the past, you can rest assured that those same individuals will be available to assist you moving forward.

In addition, Ian will be staying on in a consultative capacity for the foreseeable future.

The biggest change at this point is regarding contact information. Please visit our contact page for details.

We are already hard at work on KeyUp v6 and are looking forward to this exciting new chapter in our company's history!

If you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact us.

IDS was founded in 1987 to develop new markets and applications for security encryption devices used in the EFT arena. The KEY-UP family supports all major EFT software systems, and is deployed in the United States, Canada, South and Central America. IDS banking, credit union and retail customers include First Citizens Bank North Carolina; First Data Merchants; Notre Dame Federal Credit Union; Ahold Corp.'s Giant Food subsidiary; Krogers; Pulse EFT Association, Northrup Grumman (EBT system for the State of Texas); and New York Transit Authority, among others.

Good luck and happy retirement to Ian. Thanks for 25 great years!

-The Staff at IDS EnTech
